Floor Tiles in Leicester
Hard-wearing porcelain and ceramic floor tiles for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and living spaces, anti-slip and underfloor-heating friendly. On display at both Leicester showrooms.
The surface that takes the most punishment.
Floors take more wear than any other tiled surface, so the tile has to earn it. We stock hard-wearing porcelain and ceramic floor tiles across both Leicester showrooms, in stone, wood and concrete effects, with anti-slip options for wet areas and ranges suited to underfloor heating.
Our team will point you to the right slip and durability rating for the room, and hand you free samples to try underfoot before you commit.
Floor tiles by type
Porcelain Floor Tiles
Dense, low-porosity porcelain for kitchens, hallways and living spaces that see heavy daily use.
Large Format
Big slabs for a seamless, modern floor with fewer grout lines, needs a flat substrate.
Wood Effect
Porcelain plank tiles with the warmth of timber and the resilience of porcelain, ideal over underfloor heating.
Stone Effect
Textured stone-look porcelain for a natural feel without the sealing of real stone.
Anti-Slip
Slip-resistant floor tiles for bathrooms, wet rooms and entrances that get wet.
Pattern
Encaustic-style pattern tiles for a characterful hallway, kitchen or cloakroom floor.
Floors we have supplied
Getting a floor tile right
Slip ratings (R rating)
Floor tiles carry an R-rating for slip resistance. The wetter the area, the higher you want, our team can point you to the right one.
PEI & wear
The PEI rating indicates how much wear a glazed tile takes. For a busy hallway or kitchen, choose a higher-rated floor tile.
Underfloor heating
Porcelain and ceramic conduct heat efficiently and suit underfloor heating well. Mention it so we can advise on adhesive.
Large format & substrate
Large-format floor tiles need a flat, well-prepared substrate to sit well and avoid lippage.
Ratings that matter for floors
| Rating | What it means | Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| R9 | Low slip resistance | Dry interior floors |
| R10 | Moderate slip resistance | Kitchens, entrances |
| R11 | Higher slip resistance | Bathrooms, wet areas |
| PEI 3 | Moderate wear | Most domestic floors |
| PEI 4 | Heavy wear | Busy hallways & kitchens |
Estimate your coverage
An estimate only. Add around 10% waste, more for diagonal or patterned floors. Large-format and cut-heavy rooms need a higher allowance. Our team will confirm quantities.
“For floors, the two numbers to ask about are the R-rating for slip and the PEI for wear. A beautiful tile with the wrong rating in a wet bathroom or a busy hallway will disappoint within a year. Tell us the room and how it gets used and we will match the tile to it.”
